The Centre was established in 1992 by Monash University with the cooperation of the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) and reconstituted in 1994 as the Monash University-ACER Centre for the Economics of Education and Training.

The Centre undertakes research, research training, consultancies and dissemination of research.

The Centre is funded by the Australian National Training Authority as a Key Vocational Education and Training (VET) Research Centre.

The Centre reports to an Advisory Board and has a VET Advisory Committee that includes members from a wide range of stakeholders, including TAFE Institutes, ANTA and training authorities from three States.
